This event is a talent nurturing social contribution program organized by Lexus Korea to support artists in the field of crafts and to promote the culture of craftsmanship in Korea. Since 2017, Lexus Korea has collaborated with a total of 41 craft artists, holding special exhibitions and producing Lexus Creative Masters Edition, among other various projects.

This year, the ultimate winner was Jiwoo Lee for 'White Porcelain Lighting,' a ceramic lighting piece completed by utilizing the robust materiality and translucency of white porcelain. The finalists included: ▲ 'FORM IN LINES' by Kim Yeji (a scrubber basket object that expresses volume through the repetition of lines), ▲ 'Fruits of Circulation' by Park Jieun (a sculptural work expressing the shape of time and energy through the repetition of subtle movements), ▲ 'Limpet GR01' by Seo Jinhyuk (a glass art object inspired by the structure of shellfish, embodying the meanings of accumulation and sustainability), and ▲ 'Clear Chair' by Lee Changhee (an epoxy chair exploring its use through the interaction of assembled modules).

Byungjin Lee, Vice President of Lexus Korea, stated, "This year, we had the opportunity to see many novel and sophisticated works that creatively interpreted the essence of crafts—utility. Based on Lexus' brand philosophy of craftsmanship, we will continue to support artists who will lead the future of crafts."
